IMDb schreibt folgendes zum Film:"A fascinating example of timelapse photography, and quite possible the first. Shot from one angle, the movie begins with areal time shot of a building across the street, the Star Theater. Vehicles of all kinds crowd the street below, and the sidewalk is bustling with people. Then time flashes forward. As though watching somebody dressed in layers of clothes start to strip, we watch as Star disappears, pealed away layer by layer by an ant-like demolition crew. The final shot, still from the same angle, is again in realtime, showing people and vehicles passing through the street, past what is now a vacant lot. We're so used to seeing examples of this same sort of scene now, it's strangely unnerving to see it happen 102 years ago. The picture quality of the print I saw was extremely crisp, and fine details (even the faces of passers by on the street) were visible. The only thing I didn't like so much was seeing a beautiful building get torn down. Still, at least it was all captured on film for us to see now. A fascinating document."
